Reply To: Should every machine tool be bolted to a concrete floor?

One thing I would definitely bolt down would be the drill press. These can turn quite nasty if the drill bit catches when drilling something like the end of a long piece of steel that you are firmly holding. The job stays still and the unbolted drill press starts to spin around. Ouch. Also a drill press can tend to tilt toward the operator if too much downward pressure is applied to the handle when drilling with a blunt bit etc.
